That is what we’ve taken to calling her and I do believe she is starting to think that is her name. Oops!

The past three months have felt both incredibly quick and somehow at the same time, like they’ve gone on forever. It sounds odd, but I keep forgetting that Florence is going to keep getting bigger and learning new things. I get so used to her just being interested in staring at the blinds (this was an early phase) or having to rush through my grocery shopping, afraid that she’ll become inconsolable at any moment, that I’m shocked when suddenly she starts showing interest in the dogs or can be consoled by something other than eating and being held (thank goodness). So far, in terms of big milestones, she’s smiled, rolled over from belly to back, fallen in love with her feet and just tonight, gave a real good laugh for the first time! She likes music and dancing; she loves tummy time and sitting up facing out so that she can look around. She’s a very social girl and will take being out and about over being home any day. She sleeps very well at night but isn’t a big fan of napping…oh, unless I’d like to push her around in her stroller at the park, then she’ll nap thankyouverymuch. In my opinion, she just keeps getting better and better. :-)

In the first three months, I’ve been diligent about doing my monthly photo session with the Bubs, but haven’t been nearly as good about capturing the day to day moments with anything other than my iPhone. I’m going to give myself a new parent pass, but am committed to taking my real camera out and about with us more often.

So, although I haven’t been good about taking ‘real’ photos. I have taken a TON of iPhone photos and lots of them are up on instagram. Follow me, @katie_mcmenamin! Be warned though, try as I might to diversify, my feed remains very baby/dog heavy in content. #iloveinstagram

…how about that passport photo. Kills me. :-)
